My sister Buffy called me yesterday.  We’d had a spat awhile back – it was good to hear from her.  I feel so bad that she has to struggle so hard in life.  I wish I had the resources to help her.  She’s a gentle soul, but can be a bit naive at times & seems to have to learn things the hard way.  She gets taken advantage of by her adoptive brother & that makes me angry, both at him & at her for allowing it.  She wants us to get together & actually meet for the first time.  I want that too, but I can’t afford to fly & wouldn’t do it again if I could afford it.  So she will more than likely fly up here to me in MA.  She’s very beautiful & is the spitting image of our Mother.
